Although the Europeans may not be at the table, the region’s interests will be taken into account, Keith Kellogg has said.
Europe may not be at the table when the US holds talks with Russia over Ukraine, US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference. However, Kiev will undoubtedly be present, he added.
Kellogg clarified that the interests of other concerned parties would be taken into account.
“What we don’t want to do is get into a large group discussion,” he added, as quoted by CNBC.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump discussed possible Ukraine negotiations during a phone call on Wednesday. Following the conversation, Trump said that American and Russian officials would meet in Munich on Friday, with Ukraine also invited to participate. However, no such meeting was announced by the conference or media outlets.
When asked if he could name the requirements for a credible security guarantee for Ukraine, Kellogg replied, “The answer right now is no,” noting that he was attending the Munich conference to gather insights from Ukraine and Europe. He opined that the US sometimes has a tendency to view issues solely from its own perspective.
US Vice President J.D. Vance, who attended the event as well, also insisted on the start of direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. “It’s important for us to get together and start to have the conversations that are going to be necessary to bring this thing to a close,” he said.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said coming negotiations could mark a watershed in EU-US relations. “[The US] expects Europe to take the lead in securing any agreement that follows. These negotiations can be a turning point for our continent and transatlantic relations. A historic turning point that can go in very different directions.”
However, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has cautioned that some vested interests want to sabotage the peace process. “The European pro-war, liberal elite will try to do everything in its power to ensure that the peace agreement that ends the war in Ukraine is not reached, which is currently closer than ever,” the diplomat said.
Very understandable considering the kind of ” elites” ” governing” Europe at the moment.
The UK Guardian which has become no less than a propaganda tool, has totally become hysterical about the speach of Vance… And even used this morning ” factcheckers” in its ranting
The elites: war is our business and none of your business.
But you can invest your son.
I found it hilariously ironic how Vance’s speech amounted to, “…you guys are completely out of touch with your citizens and the economic & social collapse that mass migration into Europe has caused.”
To which the German minister of crybabies (or whatever) replied with, “I have not SEEN this Europe of which you speak. Everything is fine.”
The EU has been a thousand times more destructive to Europe than any Austrian art student ever was.
Good. The less idiots there are at the negotiating table the better.
Fewer.
The current unconstitutional European leaders are not at the table. They are the meal on it.
In a very short period elections will be held and those leaders will be throw out of office. They will be remembered as criminals by their own countrymen.
Looks like those rare minerals and metal are no longer heading for Europe. They are going to be divided between the US and Russia.
The E.U., as Nigel Farage and David Icke have pointed out, is a proto-Communist bastion of governments whose ‘leaders’ and ‘representatives’ are UN_ELECTED!
The new Communist threat is NOT Russia, but rather the E.U. and their systemic string of failures in their policies.
They are complicit in their Zio-J3wi$h-imposed mandates of White Genocide via illegal migration / immigration that has over-run Europe, Scandinavia, the UK and Ireland.
The Nordic Scandinavian Nations would do quite well to go back to declaring Neutrality, leave NATO, and the E.U..
